Help-How do you lose weight/excersize when EVERYDAY is like 106 degrees?at midnight it's 90!!I am REALLY out of energy to even get up the motivation to clean my house,we have no a/c.I am getting really depressed as I think my bipolar meds might be helping me gain weight too!! No joke-I have 40 lbs to lose!!I just feel like a miserable sweaty pig!!YES i live in (too sunny) California. I would like to try to lose weight the old fashion way as I have no $ for gimmicks,pills etc. Have been on unemployment for 7 months(another reason for depression).Any advise or new friends out there? I refuse TO GIVE UP!!THANKS!!

I JUST WALKED 6 MILES w/ my boyfriend!!!I told him wouldn't that be nice if that 1 walk would do away w/ my tummy!!lol!! In much better spirits today!! Probably wasn't the smartest thing doing it in the heat,I felt like I could pass out and/or cry a couple times! Well,we ran out of gas ,so it was a nesesaty (sp?)we walked to the store!!i am beat red!! DON'T WORRY-the kids are w/ their dad today!!I WOULD NOT subject them to that. But I do feel like that was a great accomplishment!! Feel proud of myself!! I wonder how many calaries that burned and if I could EVER do it again!!WHEW!!Also I ate a salad for dinner last night!!I know I need to keep up the good work,but maybe I'll stick to a shorter walk next time lol!! Also-we drank LOTS of gatorade-is that ok?Thanks for ANY reply!!

I do a lot of walking when traveling on the west coast. I got caught in the heat wave. Did the walking anyway. Not a set routine, just go walk from point A to point B instead of taking public transportation.

So what if I get sweaty. Look around - there are almost always people sweating!

So what if I get a bit stinky. Smell around - there are almost always people who could improve their personal hygiene.

I know I will feel better if I walk. I can always shower later.

One of my tricks to get getting salad in is to wrap my burgers in leaf lettuce. My burgers, my fish...easy way when traveling.
